Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content.

9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.

The U.S. conservative political commentor Candace Owens was refused a visa to enter New Zealand for a speaking engagement because she had been banned from another country, immigration officials said Thursday.

News of the ruling came weeks after neighboring Australia also rejected her visa request, citing remarks in which she denied Nazi medical experimentation on Jews in concentration camps during World War II.

Owens is scheduled to speak at a series of events in several Australian cities and in Auckland, New Zealand, in February and March next year. Tickets remain on sale and there is no acknowledgement on the promoter’s website that she has been refused entry to both countries.

Can the US reject her trip home?

[–] dditty@lemm.ee 70 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This is a great way to penalize these far-right grifters. Not only are they prevented from making money on their speaking tour, but they are publicly lambasted and restricted in travel, and there's nothing they can do about it.

[–] irreticent@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (2 children)

There's no way that that'll be used against the good guys once the bad guys are in office. It's just not possible!

/s just in case

Appoint her to the cabinet, you say?

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 51 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Maybe... but wait, has she tried to rape anyone before?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 26 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Other than everyone's ears?

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I don't know if that qualifies her

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It seems to have qualified Vivek.

[–] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You know... as a fan of the elder scrolls I am deeply saddened at the namespace clash.

If it's a requirement, I'm sure she could manage something on the plane ride home.

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago (25 children)

If she doesn't have a citizenship in another country it is just this side of not happening that the sates would leave her stateless as the rules currently stand.

New Zealand telling Candace Owens to fuck the fuck off:

[–] Clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world 60 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (4 children)

Lol, this is so absurd. They will ban the crazy lady but have harbored rupert murdoch as he dismantled democracy across the world. Insane.

[–] Pacattack57@lemmy.world 53 points 2 years ago (3 children)

She is banned for being a holocaust denier. Nothing to do with democracy.

[–] JamesTBagg@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What?! Read the article?! Are you out of your damned mind?

[–] Pacattack57@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (2 children)

It’s there in black in white. If you can’t read then don’t talk to me.

She denied Jews were experimented on on concentration camps.

[–] meco03211@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If you can’t read then don’t talk to me.

To be fair they wouldn't be able to read this either.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

To be fair they wouldn't be able to read this either.

Or this

I'm absolutely positive they dropped a /s that was supposed to be at the end of that comment. If you read it with an exaggerated tone it sounds very sarcastic

Banned from two countries for being a neonazi, yet spoke at my uni twice, and protected by cops.

Make it make sense.

[–] Kbobabob@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago (3 children)

America - home of the free to be any kind of piece of shit you can think of.

Australia - throws you in jail for doing Nazi things

Candace? — More like Can’tdace, amirite?

[–] WhatYouNeed@lemmy.world 27 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Good to see the Kiwi's copying the Aussies when they told Candace to:

Get fucked cunt!

[–] meco03211@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I've been led to believe that's a term of endearment to you people.

Exactly. Anyone being called that is on my ignore list. Call me a Curmudgeon.

Curmudgeon. I aim to please.

That's Future President Candace Owens to you.

So that's a fun question:

Can the right's motivational spite overcome its immense racism?

[–] madjo@feddit.nl 7 points 2 years ago

I don't think so, let alone overcome its misogyny.

[–] capital@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

I made fun of Trump before he was elected.

I’ll never over estimate US voters again.

I did too. Thought it would be more of a clowns falling over administration. Not demons in the sewer murdering children.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (8 children)

I won't underestimate US racism though. I don't think even a right-wing black woman could be elected president.

Black woman conservative why

[–] chatokun@lemmy.dbzer0.com 28 points 2 years ago (5 children)

Makes her rich. She knows racism, as she's had to sue successfully in the past, but it's easier to get money this way. There's this podcast where atheists make fun of bad Religious movies (mostly Christian, with a few Jewish, Hindu, scientology, culty, and just plain weird Woo/conspiracy ones) and they are constantly surprised how bad they are yet still profitable.

They joke about just switching sides for the payout. Some people don't have enough standards to not do so.

[–] LiveLM@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Drop the podcast name, please!

Nice let’s go! I was hoping for this!

[–] meco03211@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Have there been any left leaning influencers or otherwise banned from major countries? Not that I'd expect the right to understand why there is a disparity there. Just for my own curiosity.
